LinuxRocks Update

I am not sure how many of you know, but I have been battling cancer. I have appointed Tim @etxlinux as the secondary owner/admin of LR. This will ensure that if anything happens to me, LR will continue on. As there have been times I have been in the hospital for extended periods and not been able to keep up.

Also, if you would like to donate to help with medical bills, feel free.
Please do not donate if you are struggling yourself.

I also want to add that I am an open book. So if you're curious about anything from my cancer to daily stuff, let me know, I will be free to answer any questions.

@lunduke The world today is so damn crazy. The art of conversation and debate has disappeared. It has now drop to name calling and accusations. I don't always agree or condone some of the stuff you say but I will always fight for the right for people to speak their minds. I am just so tired of all this name calling. It's all political as the politicians on both sides would rather have us fight against each other than them. They started all this mess.

@GeeksLoveDetail everything helps, if your interested we could always use more mods. It's pretty easy as we always lean heavy to allow. We don't play politics or biases. Everyone should be able to express their opinions as long as it's not a direct attack on someone. Sometimes we have to discuss if someone went to far. Most reports are just spam accounts though. We have very little reports on something actually a legit complaint as we have awesome users.

Anyone interested to interview to be a Admin for LR?

Responsibility would be.
New users approvals
Helping with moderation
Sever updates.
Mastodon updates.

We don't get much in donates but I can throw a few dollars each month for Helping that just depends on what we get.

A phone interview would be required.

I am currently fighting cancer and I am on the winning side as it has shrunk by half. I would like to have help and redundancy when I am not available.

@sunng There is no plans to have LR disappear. Matter of fact I am working on getting a brand new server to migrate too. The outage to be honest has been do to my laziness to move my DNS server and it finally bit me. I will work on moving my DNS to a more stable server.

2025-06-23

@odysseywestra Yeah sorry about that my DNS server crashed

2025-06-22

Sorry for LR being down DNS crashed.

@farooqkz You might hit up the fedora project folks who do it on peertube they may have recommendations.

2025-05-23

@farooqkz I know people do live streams on peertube.linuxrocks.online all the time. Not sure about the parallel streams. I used restreamer to stream to multiple places at once.

@Piejacker875 With all water I am drinking i am getting tons of exercise running back and forth to the bathroom. Lol

2025-03-31

So many of you know I was end the hospital, well one of the doctor says is because of my current condition I need ro drink lots of water well ok fine. My wife has been following me around with a damn water jug everywhere saying here drink this.

Well I got my results in and through it in chatGPT and asked to explain it to me. It did but then says I need to drink lots of water.

So now even chataGPT is ganging up on me about this water crap lol.

Dear @Mer__edith and the the amazing @signalapp team,

After the last update, the Signal "desktop app" is requiring us to launch the mobile app - however, many of us do not have the Android or any other "mobile" version of the Signal app any more.

We are a large (by our standards) group of #Linux phone users, and your "desktop" app is our "mobile" app : )

Our previous phones on which #SignalApp was initially activated was an Android or Apple device and we have since then completely migrated to #Linuxphones. Some of us may have registered Signal on #signalcli, Flare, #Molly, Signal Android in #WayDroid, etc.

The #mobileLinux community is growing - we have members spanning a good number of projects and devices, e.g.
- @purism #Librem5 and #LibertyPhone running #Debian-based #PureOS #GnuLinux, #Alpine-based #PostmarketOS or #Mobian,
- @PINE64 #Pinephone and PP Pro running #ManjaroARM, #SailfishOS, etc.
- @furilabs #FLX1 running #Droidian-based #FuriOS,
- a wide variety of Android phones (including OnePlus 6, Google Pixel 3, #Fairphone 4 & 5) running #Alpine-based @postmarketOS ,
- @volla , #Fxtec and #Brax3 devices running #UbuntuTouch by @ubports,
- devices running @mobian which is part of #Debian project, etc.

[Apologies to any project I may have failed to include - you are all appreciated]
